Motivation Change in Therapeutic Community Residential Treatment
Morgen, Keith; Kressel, David
Journal of Addictions & Offender Counseling, v30 n2 p73-83 Apr 2010
Latent growth curve analysis was used to assess motivation change across 3 time points for 120 therapeutic community residents. Models included the time-invariant predictor of readiness for treatment, which significantly predicted initial treatment motivation but not the rate of motivation change over time. (Contains 1 figure and 2 tables.)
